1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objectives: The Tigray war devastated Laelay Maichew Woreda in terms of death and displacement, health care disruption, and food insecurity. This study analyzes the mortality trend with associated determinants and provides evidence that strengthens healthcare resilience. Methods: The study analyzed 303 war-affected individuals from November 2020 to March 2024, utilizing Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, log-rank tests, Cox proportional hazards, parametric, and accelerated failure time models to identify possible factors impacting survival. Results: This study revealed a mortality rate of 44.55% in conflict-affected vulnerable groups, where children aged ≤14 years constituted the majority of registered deaths. Direct combat was identified as the major cause of death (72%), with a median survival time of 17 weeks. The Gompertz model indicated that children Conclusion: Post-conflict mortality risks in Laelay Maichew Woreda are higher for children, young adults, males, and those exposed to direct combat, disease outbreaks, or a lack of healthcare access. The long-term impact of war on survival necessitates targeted interventions and policies.
